CATHODIC ISOLATOR DATA

Electrical Isolation for Effective Cathodic Protection
The uniquely designed Cathodic Isolator developed by Rustrol Systems effectively confines the current needed for cathodic protection, while providing a safe grounding path during all types of electrical disturbances.
Cathodic protection, proven by decades of service in a variety of applications, prevents corrosion of buried or submerged metallic structures. Cathodic protection is most efficiently and uniformly applied when the primary structure is electrically isolated i.e. all metallic/electrical contacts with foreign structures are eliminated. Electrical isolation gives three main benefits: Restriction of the required protective current to the surface of the primary structure to produce a uniform polarised level of protection. Minimization of stray DC current interference. Prevention of galvanic current between metallic structures.
Safe Cathodic Isolation Cathodic isolation is a superior form of electrical isolation. Cathodic isolation maintains stringent electrical grounding requirements and confines the protective current at the surface of the primary structure. The result is highly effective, uniform protection against corrosion. The Rustrol Cathodic Isolator meets safety standards for effective grounding and conforms to the need for safe operating practices worldwide, ie; not to exceed 15Volts rms (caution) potential most often stipulated by design. The Cathodic Isolator provides all of the advantages of electrical isolation necessary for cathodic protection by blocking the protective current at the electrical isolating device such as across a pipeline isolating flange. As soon as the potential across the isolating flange exceeds the pre-set voltage threshold, the Rustrol Cathodic Isolator responds instantly.

Versatile Protection The Cathodic Isolator protects personnel and equipment during all types of electrical disturbances by providing an effective grounding path which instantly conducts: AC Fault Currents Lightning AC Induction Power Switching Surge Currents
The Cathodic Isolator is indispensable for safe electrical isolation to assure unprecedented protection of your personnel and equipment.
Rustrols Proven Quality Assures Reliable Operation
Unique developments in electronic circuitry are incorporated in the Rustrol solid state Cathodic Isolator to assure acute sensitivity, instant response and fail-safe, maintenance free operation in a non-electrolytic environment. The Cathodic Isolator and associated hardware feature the most advanced and reliable components now available. Each critical component is precisely machined and carefully assembled to meet Rustrols exceptionally stringent quality assurance standards. Research and development models have undergone thorough acceptance testing by independent high-current test facilities and have been fully approved (test data available on request).
Applications for Cost Effective Operation Along with performing a key role in safe and effective corrosion control, the Rustrol Cathodic Isolator also serves to reduce both capital and maintenance costs of cathodic protection systems. Cost effective applications include: AC fault current protection across isolating flanges and other devices. Mitigation of induced AC on pipelines and other structures. Lightning protection for equipment, including CP rectifiers. De-coupling of the primary structure eg; Fuelling facility from contact with the electrical utilities grounding network.

POLARISATION CELLS
Onshore Pipelines & Storage Tanks Rustrol Systems are designed to protect personnel and equipment from electrical disturbances. Rustrol Systems effectively block cathodic protection DC voltages; all other electrical disturbances are freely conducted to ground, such as: AC Fault Currents Mitigation of induced AC Voltages Lightning
Rustrol Polarization Cell Systems Data

The Rustrol Polarization Cell Systems are rated for up to 100 kA AC fault current capacities, in 5 kA increments. Each Cell System is capable of blocking 1.7 volts DC. A full product line is available to meet the challenge of all applications. Rustrol Polarization Cell Systems are typically specified for earthing applications where major power disturbances are not the primary exposure. Some examples include: decoupling a structure from ground rods, casings or other isolated earths. AC power pulses, lightning surges, stray DC interference and induced AC voltages are all standard applications for the Rustrol Polarization Cell. All Cells are rated to safely pass _ second (30 cycle) AC fault current, with a terminal potential rise across the Cell, not exceeding 15 volts rms at 20C. Rustrol Polarization Cells optimize the safety of personnel and equipment. Rustrol Polarization Cell Systems are utilized to decouple massive metallic structures where electrical disturbances, caused by AC fault currents, present high-risk exposure. Typically, Rustrol Polarization Cell Systems are specified for direct connections across isolation flange assemblies; between pipe-type cable systems and station ground; or between cathodically protected structures and the electrical grounding system neutral.
How Rustrol Cells Work

Rustrol Polarization Cells contain pairs of pure nickel plates immersed in KOH electrolyte. The surfaces of these plates instantly polarize when separated metallic structures are connected to opposite terminals. The polarizing film blocks DC, to contain cathodic protection current, while freely passing AC. Personnel are safely protected from shock hazards during AC faults. Insulating fittings and equipment are protected during electrical disturbances. Separated underground or submerged metallic structures are efficiently protected. Isolated structures, which must remain effectively grounded to the AC utility network, are designed to meet this requirement in national electrical safety codes. Installations specifying Rustrol Polarization Cells for cathodic isolation, are regularly accepted by North American electrical inspectors.
Quality With A Proven Track Record

Rustrol Polarization Cells and hardware are manufactured using only pure metals as electrical conductors. Components machined and assembled match Rustrol's high quality assurance standards. Researched and developed models are fully acceptance-tested to the approval of independent high current test laboratories, prior to marketing. Worldwide users of Rustrol Polarization Cells report that maintenance is minimal when operating at their operating temperature and rated exposure conditions. Service life of more then 25 years with minimal variance in the level of the electrolyte is reported.
